If you will be scanning the Windows computer over the Internet, make sure outbound traffic is allowed on your Lansweeper scanning server.NET Framework 4.8 (or higher) is installed, as this is a requirement for running LsAgent. To install LsAgent on a Windows computer and subsequently have LsAgent scan the machine, do the following: Thanks to the relay server connectivity, LsAgent can even scan computers outside of your network and over the Internet. Data is securely sent to the relay server over HTTPS, stored in an encrypted format, and deleted once a scanning server has retrieved it. LsAgent sends scanned data back to your Lansweeper installation, either directly or through our relay server in the cloud. It is a cross-platform, lightweight program that you can install on Windows, Linux, and Mac computers and that automatically collects an inventory from the computer it's installed on.

LsAgent is a scanning agent introduced in Lansweeper 7.0. Optionally, you can scan your computers with a scanning agent instead. You can scan the Linux, Unix, Mac, and Windows computers, VMware servers, and other devices in your network without installing any Lansweeper software on the machines you're scanning. Lansweeper includes several agentless scanning methods to scan the assets in your network. If your particular license does not support this feature, please visit this page for more information. Not all Lansweeper licenses support scanning via LsAgent.
